This is a Doppler radar image of Hurricane Charley making landfall in Florida in 2004. This graphic shows the hurricane coming from the Gulf of Mexico with the eye just over Fort Myers and moving through North Florida. The Doppler radar used microwave radiation and a directional antenna to measure the pulses reflected from the storm. The radar was used to make an atmospheric profile (motion and composition of particles) of clouds within the hurricane which is shown in the graphic.
